The expression of emotions (including grief) differs from culture to culture and depends on the historical context. The life-world defines the grieving practices, and the social system regulates them.

Child death is a taboo topic for urban discourse. However, during folklore and anthropological expeditions in the Russian North, we noticed that women were ready to talk about it and shared their personal experience of bereavement of their children (or their siblings).

The focus of our attention is on the practice of grieving in the village community. Materials for the analysis are the records from the open electronic archive "Russian Everyday Life", which were made on the territories of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions from 1980 to 2021 inclusive.

Adolescence is one of the critical stages in man’s personal development, therefore this age group is more susceptible to stress because of the low ability to cope with challenging circumstances. The main purpose of coping behaviour is to restore the emotional balance and the relationship between the individual and the environment, as well as to reduce the associated psychological discomfort. The aim of the study is to explore and describe the features of coping behaviour in adolescents with differing levels of Internet addiction.

The research sample comprised 75 persons aged from 14 to 16. The authors used testing methods to study coping behavior and Internet addiction, as well as methods mathematical statistics.

The following results were obtained in the course of the research:

First, “Confrontation”, “Distancing” and “Escape – Avoidance” strategies proved to positively correlate with the level of Internet addiction.

Second, adolescents with no Internet addiction tend to use for the most part relatively adaptive cognitive and behavioural coping strategies as well as adaptive emotional coping strategies. Adolescents with obvious passion for Internet and tendency towards addiction most often use relatively adaptive cognitive and behavioural coping strategies as well as adaptive emotional coping strategies. Meanwhile adolescents with actual addiction also use relative adaptive cognitive and behavioural coping strategies, though accompanied by maladaptive emotional coping strategies.

Thus, the increasing level of Internet addiction correlates with the growing frequency of non-adaptive coping strategies. Adolescents’ withdrawal to virtual space as one of the ways to cope with stressful situation affects their emotional level to a great extent. The consideration of peculiarities of adolescents’ coping behaviour will make it possible to individualise psychological prevention programmes and those aimed at correction of Internet addiction.

Today the child is included in the digital space almost from the very birth: the variety of gadgets, the easy accessibility of the internet and other means of mass communication switch the child’s consciousness from the real to the virtual world. And in this case, the digital space is the basis for forming a child’s mental processes, ethnic and cultural identity, mediating his/her life. And adolescence is of particular importance for developing the individual, forming his/her sense-value sphere, working-out behavior patterns.

The goal of the research is to study personality traits and models of coping behavior of adolescents in a situation of uncertainty in the digital space.

The sample involved 29 adolescents aged 13-14 (Group 1) and 28 adolescents aged 16-17 (Group 2) who spend 3 and more hours a day on the Internet.

The empirical study included testing (“Individual Typological Children’s Questionnaire” (L.N. Sobchik); “Strategic Approach to Coping Scale” (S.E. Hobfoll adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova, E.S. Starchenkova)) and statistical data processing.

Results of the research: adolescents of group 1 tend to emphasize their problems (p=0.001) and use the passive model of coping behavior “Cautious action” (p=0.04). They have got positive (“Aggravation”-“Aggressive action”, “Aggressiveness”-“Antisocial action”, “Emotiveness”-“Social Joining”, “Emotiveness”-“Instinctive Action”, “Sensitivity”-“Seeking Social Support”) and negative (“Sensitivity”-“Assertive Action”) correlations (p=0.05). Group 2 has got positive correlations (p=0.05): “Aggravation”-“Assertive Action”, “Aggravation”-“Aggressive action”, “Anxiety”-“Social Joining”.

Conclusion: Adolescents aged 13-14 tend to exaggerate the intensity of their state, any events are of great importance for them. They differ by increased levels of anxiety and aggressiveness. They use such models of coping behavior as “Cautious action”, “Aggressive action” and “Social Joining”.

Adolescents (16-17), being immersed in the virtual space, which shows as rigidity, introversion, and sensitivity, are aimed at social interaction and use “Cautious action”, “Seeking Social Support” and “Social Joining”.

In nowadays society ,the importance of knowing who we are, where we go is essential to face the globalisation. It is in the teaching learning process where professors can contribute to the formation of values, beliefs, customs which are part of the cultural identity that allows self recognition and recognizing the cultural diversity of the world we live in.The cultural identiy is seeing as a social necesity that goes beyond the educacional process and the formation of profesional. According to these basis the investigation is focused on the management of the process of formation of the Caribbean cultural identity in the students from the the Englih Language career. To carry out this investigation several methods were applied,among them, the analysis.- sinthesis, the induction- deduction,observation, interview to get to know the core of the management of formation of the Caribbean cultural identity and the current state of the variable.The investigation in progress favors the correct management of the Caribbean cultural identity having into account the four dimension of educative management : institucional, administratve, pedagogical and extensionist in the four components of the process of formation. As a result of this investigation in the strategy of the career has been incorporated the content of Caribbean cultural identity as well as in the academic year.

Puting into practice a correct management of the Caribbean cultural identity allows a high quality education, supports the students with a solid identity to face the digital era and the globalisation.

Modernization of the education system, due to increased requirements for the quality of education and orientation to the personality of students, required scientists and teachers to develop new learning technologies. Due to the development of digitalization, Excel and other programs are becoming increasingly popular and accessible, including among children. The game "Life" will be an example of how the game can contribute to the development of intelligence and interest in science and education.

The purpose of the study is to consider the game as a factor contributing to the development of a child's interest in science.

The following methods were used in the course of the study: system-information analysis, comparison of statistical data, analysis and specification of the collected information.

The main results of the study are an increase in interest in mathematics and natural sciences, an improvement in concentration on the object under study, the development of perseverance and attentiveness.

After conducting the study, the following conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, digitalization contributes to the socialization of the child in the digital world, helps him to understand the features of computer programs and programming. Secondly, the use of digital forms in teaching instills in the child an interest in science. Thirdly, the introduction of various digital forms can provide a child with useful leisure. Fourth, digital methods expand the child's competence in the field of information technology. Thus, digital games contribute to the development of a mathematical mindset and spatial thinking, as well as increase the speed of decision-making.
